The evaluation described in this report was a joint project of the WHO Regional Office <strong>for</strong> the Western Pacific (WPRO), the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Innovative</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Diagnostics</strong> (FIND), TDR, Special Programme <strong>for</strong> Research and Training in Tropical Diseases<br />
sponsored by UNICEF, UNDP, World Bank and WHO and the US Centers <strong>for</strong> Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under the<br />
WHO-FIND Malaria RDT Evaluation Programme. The project was financed by FIND, the Australian Agency <strong>for</strong> International<br />
Development (AusAID), the United States Agency <strong>for</strong> International Development (USAID) and TDR. The project would not<br />
have been possible without the cooperation and support of the specimen collection sites, and the specimen characterization<br />
laboratories mentioned herein. The project acknowledges the technical advice from many malaria diagnostic manufacturers<br />
and developers in the development of the programme. The WHO-FIND Malaria RDT Evaluation Programme is grateful to all<br />
those who contributed to the conduct of the evaluation and preparation of this report.<br />
